When the heater is to be stored indoors, the connection
between the LP-gas supply cylinder(s) and the heater must
be disconnected and the cylinder(s) removed from the heater
and stored out of doors and in accordance with Chapter

Petroleum Gases ANSI/NFPA 58 and CSA B149.1, Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code.
SERVICING
A hazardous condition may result if a heater is used that has
been modified or is not functioning properly.
When the heater is working properly:
•
The flame is contained within the heater.
•
The flame is essentially blue with perhaps some
yellow tipping.
•
There is no strong disagreeable odor, eye burning or
other physical discomfort.
•
There is no smoke or soot internal or external to the
heater.
•
There are no unplanned or unexplained shut downs
of the heater.
The parts lists and wiring diagram show the heater as it was
constructed. Do not use a heater which is different from
that shown. In this regard, use only the hose, regulator and
cylinder connection fitting (called a POL fitting) supplied
with the heater. IMPORTANT Match the color stripe on the
hangtag attached to the hose assembly with the color on the
label located near the propane inlet fitting on the heater. Do
not use alternates. For this heater, the regulator must be set
as shown in "specifications". If there is any uncertainty about
the regulator setting, have it checked.
A heater which is not working right must be repaired, but
only by a trained, experienced service person.
In-warranty products will be repaired with no charge for
either parts or labor. Please include a brief statement
indicating date, place of purchase, the nature of the problem
and proof of purchase.
Out-of-warrranty products will be repaired with a charge for
parts and labor.
